The Evidence for Violence Prevention Across the Lifespan and Around
the World is the summary of a workshop convened in January 2013 by
the Institute of Medicine's Forum on Global Violence Prevention to
explore value and application of the evidence for violence
prevention across the lifespan and around the world. As part of the
Forum's mandate is to engage in multisectoral, multidirectional
dialogue that explores crosscutting approaches to violence
prevention, this workshop examined how existing evidence for
violence prevention can continue to be expanded, disseminated, and
implemented in ways that further the ultimate aims of improved
individual well-being and safer communities. This report examines
violence prevention interventions that have been proven to reduce
different types of violence (e.g., child and elder abuse, intimate
partner and sexual violence, youth and collective violence, and
self-directed violence), identifies the common approaches most
lacking in evidentiary support, and discusses ways that proven
effective interventions can be integrated or otherwise linked with
other prevention programs. Table of Contents Front Matter 1
